How can there be a cherry that has no stone? Find the answer to this and other head-scratching riddles in The Riddle Song, part of a series of captivating picture books based on beloved songtales from the great American folk tradition. In this charming reimagination of a centuries-old classic, artist Lexi Baboukis evokes an idyllic countryside where a squirrel, goose, chicken, and two goats gather to hear a woman play lap dulcimer beneath the open sky. By the end, each animal reveals the delightfully clever answer to one of the song' s four puzzling riddles. This musical brain teaser will at once spark curiosity and warm the heart with its whimsical lyrics and melody. And as with the other folk song picture books in the series, The Riddle Song includes the song' s history, notation, and a link to a free MP3 download. Another winner collected by John M. Feierabend!
